You have offered absolutely zero context to your question, but as Newbie pointed out, one commerce major only. Do what interests you (and will hopefully help you get a job), not just what you think sounds good.

There are a few first years who do apply but the majority usually come through from year 12.

You totally need to start a blog :)

^ But how do you know their kids didn't? Or spouse? I think Davdav has a point (i.e. you never know who you might be insulting with stereotypes or biased views) but he isn't very good at staying on topic (i.e. whether or not the university is prestigious and how employers view this in the...

I'd caveat the above though that she is still GM level in one of the largest non-bank ASX100's which isn't too shabby (despite the recent events).

What's that got to do with anything? Her career success isn't anything to laugh at, but if you've used LinkedIn, the "Investment Banking" field at the top is what field you choose to nominate yourself as being in. Also, none of her roles were strictly IB per se either. Good on her though- I'd be...

Many times I've met clients/partners/etc who either have had children who went to XXX, or they themselves went to XXX. You have to remember that the impressions and views we have on both educational institutions and employers change significantly over time. Just a few days ago, I met a CFO who...

Everyone knows Macquarie is the place to go for Actuarial. I don't think anyone is doubting that.

Agreed the final face to face interview (or group) will make the biggest impact but the question is whether you even get to the interview stage IMO. Good point about you never know which school XXX went to- I have had a few near misses before back in my younger days.

As someone else mentioned in the thread, the question is how do you define 'prestige'. Realistically (on a global scale at least) neither are particularly prestigious.

I've never picked up a hot chip which could be crumbled by gripping it too tightly until now. Or snapped And I tried some of the semi-burnt ones which were very tasteless :(

The oven timer at my parents' house doesn't work. Noone told me.

It looked long and well thought out- unlike many of my posts :) I like my Junior Member status!

LOL it never ceases to amaze me how much people actually read into and care about these things.

MAA?

What are you on about? o_O Frustration because the person is not able to complete the cadetship since they are not enrolled in a suitable degree to complete the cadetship/CA program? And damages arising from any grant monies paid and/or loss of expected income, etc...? The defamation point I...

I only did business law in uni (as opposed to full on law) but I'd say it'd be difficult since it would only be for breach or frustration of contract. There aren't any damages other than the grant, which they would probably seek to recoup if you cancelled.

i thought there'd be more!

At the very least you probably will get CPI increase unless the economy goes backwards.

Agreed. I confirm with the above from speaking with some friends from the top tiers; KWM, FH, etc that starting is between $68k and $75k. Firmspy did an article on it which is linked to somewhere above.
